Though the Giants widely are expected to be sellers before the Aug. 6 MLB trade deadline, it appears another star player isn’t likely to be moved at this point. <\/p>\n
Agent Scott Boras, who represents third baseman Matt Chapman<\/a>, addressed the likelihood of the five-time Gold Glove winner being dealt.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say that it\u2019s not something on the radar,” Boras told John Shea of The San Francisco Standard<\/a> on Monday ahead of this week’s MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia. Boras added no potential trades have been discussed to this point, either.<\/p>\n Asked Scott Boras, agent for Matt Chapman, who has no-trade contract with Giants, the chances of him being traded: \u201cI would say that it\u2019s not something on the radar.\u201d Hasn\u2019t been discussed, either, he said.<\/p>\n \u2014 John Shea (@JohnSheaHey) July 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Even if the Giants fielded an offer for Chapman worth considering, the 33-year-old has a full no-trade clause<\/a> in his contract that would need to be waived for a deal to happen. Chapman currently is in the second season of a six-year, $151 million contract signed in September 2024, meaning any interested team likely would have to pay the bulk of the over $100 million still remaining on the deal.<\/p>\n The 10-year veteran currently is on the 10-day IL with an abdominal strain<\/a>, though he is expected to return soon — if not right after the All-Star break.<\/p>\n Chapman has struggled at the plate in 2026, as his .692 OPS through 84 games would be a career low for a full season. The emergence of versatile utility man Casey Schmitt, who is having a career year with the bat, could be another reason for San Francisco to part ways with Chapman.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Chapman’s defense has remained among the best in the majors, which prevents his value from sinking too low. Entering the All-Star break, he leads all MLB third basemen in both fielding run value and defensive runs saved this year.<\/p>\n Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey already has stated the team wouldn’t entertain any offers for ace Logan Webb<\/a>, seemingly striking off another potential trade candidate on the roster. <\/p>\n Second baseman Luis Arraez is another player with plenty of trade buzz, particularly because he is on a one-year deal with San Francisco and has improved his defense significantly this season. However, Arraez also has expressed willingness<\/a> to sign an extension to remain in the Bay long-term.<\/p>\n Two other Giants players are ranked highly on ESPN’s trade deadline candidates list<\/a>: outfielder Jung Hoo Lee and starter Robbie Ray. Like Arraez, Ray only is under contract for the remainder of the 2026 season, which should increase his likelihood of being traded.<\/p>\n
